Diggs should once again be considered one of the best Fantasy receivers this season, and he's worth drafting toward the end of Round 1 or beginning of Round 2 in all leagues. In three seasons in Buffalo, Diggs has averaged at least 19.8 PPR points per game in two of those campaigns. He has three years in a row with at least 103 catches, 1,225 yards, eight touchdowns and 154 targets, and he's proven to be an elite Fantasy option since being paired with Josh Allen in 2020. Once Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, Cooper Kupp and Tyreek Hill are drafted, Diggs should be the next receiver off the board in the majority of leagues given his consistent production in Buffalo and what is expected of him once again in 2023.
Bills' Stefon Diggs: Tops 100 yards in blowout win
Rotowire
Diggs caught eight of 12 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 37-3 win over Washington.
Diggs set up a field goal with a 30-yard catch on the opening drive and ultimately topped 100 receiving yards for the second time in three games. Buffalo's No. 1 receiver has 25 catches on 32 targets for 279 yards and one touchdown through three weeks heading into a Week 4 visit from fellow star wideout Tyreek Hill and the AFC East rival Dolphins.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Mediocre day in blowout win
Rotowire
Diggs recorded seven catches on seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.
Diggs was extremely efficient in turning his targets into receptions, but there wasn't much production to follow. His longest gain of the day went for 17 yards, but three of his catches went for under 10 yards. After commanding 13 targets in Week 1, Josh Allen also distributed the ball around to more pass catchers, another contributing factor to the relative down performance. Even so, this game illustrates Diggs' extremely high floor for fantasy purposes.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Shines in tough matchup
Rotowire
Diggs caught 10 of 13 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Jets.
Diggs gave the Bills a 10-3 lead with a five-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Four turnovers by quarterback Josh Allen had the Bills on the ropes down the stretch in regulation, but Diggs came up clutch late with three catches for 40 yards in the two-minute drill to set up a game-tying field goal, though Buffalo ultimately fell short in overtime. The star receiver was undaunted by a tough matchup against cornerback Sauce Gardner and the stout New York secondary while no teammate had more than 32 receiving yards. Locked in as the top receiver in Buffalo's high-powered passing game, Diggs should find more space to operate in Week 2 against the Raiders at home.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Looks good on only drive
Rotowire
Diggs caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason game at Chicago.
Diggs and QB Josh Allen played just one drive and led the Bills to a quick touchdown. They'll get a bigger challenge Week 1 at the Jets on Monday Night Football, facing a talented Gang Green defense that features one of the best cornerback duos in the league -- Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: In line to play Saturday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott relayed Thursday that the Bills' starters will play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Bears. In last weekend's exhibition loss to the Steelers, Diggs logged 13 snaps en route to recording two catches (on five targets) for 22 yards.
Though Buffalo's starters are on track to see action versus Chicago, chances are Diggs and company won't see extensive action Saturday. Once the wideout gets his reps in, his focus will shift to preparing for the team's regular-season opener against the Jets. As the coming campaign approaches, Diggs remains entrenched as the Bills' No. 1 option in a WR corps that also features Gabe Davis, with Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty also in the mix.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Renews connection with Allen
Rotowire
Diggs recorded two receptions on five targets for 22 yards in Saturday's 27-15 preseason loss to the Steelers.
Diggs played three series with Josh Allen and quickly racked up five targets. He was inefficient with the opportunity, though the proven rapport between the duo means there's no cause for concern. Diggs will likely take the field next for a Week 1 matchup against the Jets.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: In line to play Saturday
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott indicated Thursday that the Bills starters will play about "a quarter and a half" in Saturday's preseason contest against the Steelers, Alec White of the team's official site reports. Diggs didn't play in last weekend's exhibition opener against the Colts.
Per the report, QB Josh Allen will also face the Steelers after sitting out versus Indianapolis last Saturday. There's a solid chance that Diggs' only exhibition action ends up being against Pittsburgh, but McDermott noted Thursday that he sees value in playing starters during the preseason. "Simply put, it's to get them ready for the season," McDermott said.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Won't play this weekend
Rotowire
Diggs won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Colts, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Coach Sean McDermott said he'll play most of his starters but not Diggs or QB Josh Allen. They're the team's two most important players and seem to have moved past whatever was responsible for offseason reports of friction between them. Diggs is almost always taken in the first round of fantasy drafts, as one might expect of a player who has recorded no fewer than 103 catches, 1,225 yards and eight touchdowns in three seasons since the Vikings traded him to the Bills. He showed no signs of slowing down last year in his age-28/29 season, scoring a career-high 11 TDs among his 108 receptions.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Smooth sailing to open camp
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Diggs and the Bills are "on the same page," Alex Brasky of The Batavia Daily News reports.
Diggs missed time early during mandatory minicamp last month, and McDermott said Wednesday that the wideout's frustrations stemmed from the team's playoff loss last season, adding that the issue is now resolved. For his part, Diggs said Wednesday that things are "100 percent" resolved and noted that he would like to finish his career in Buffalo. With both parties in a good spot to begin training camp, Diggs once again finds himself well situated to repeat as one of the most productive wide receivers in the league. The 29-year-old put up an outstanding 108-1,429-11 receiving line in 16 appearances last season.
Bills coach Sean McDermott said after Wednesday's minicamp practice, which Diggs attended, that the situation between the player and the team is "resolved," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
McDermott noted that he excused Diggs from Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice before the wideout returned to the field Wednesday and participated in individual drills before sitting out team work. Since Diggs, McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen have all been mum about the details surrounding why the receiver took part in only team meetings Tuesday before leaving the facility, it's fair to wonder whether Diggs is upset over his decreased usage in the second half of last season. That said, all parties seem committed to hit the ground running once training camp rolls around in July. Should all remain calm between Diggs and the team through the summer, he'll once again be one of the top receivers off the board in almost any fantasy draft.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Absent from minicamp
Rotowire
The Bills confirmed that Diggs was at the team's facility Monday as well as Tuesday morning, but he then left before Tuesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
At this stage, it's unclear why the wideout isn't at the team's mandatory minicamp, but coach Sean McDermott has called Diggs' absence "very concerning." During the 2022 season, Diggs -- who signed a four-year, $96 million extension last April -- caught 108 passes (on 154 targets) for 1,429 yards and 11 TDs in 16 games. When available, the 29-year-old is slated to continue to lead a Buffalo wide receiver corps that also includes Gabe Davis, Khalil Shakir, Trent Sherfield, Deonte Harty and Justin Shorter.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Not at mandatory minicamp
Rotowire
Diggs isn't present for mandatory minicamp, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Sean McDermott told reporters he's "very concerned" by Diggs' absence, though the Bills head coach didn't provide an explanation for why the star wideout isn't present. This isn't necessarily a contract dispute, considering Diggs signed a four-year extension last spring. The 29-year-old hasn't participated in voluntary team activities this year, though that's not exactly abnormal for a veteran player of his caliber.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Not at Bills' voluntary workouts
Rotowire
General manager Brandon Beane confirmed Diggs didn't report for the start of the Bills' offseason workout program Monday, according to Matt Parrino of New York Upstate.
It's important to note that these workouts are voluntary, but even Josh Allen is in attendance, and it's always notable when a potentially disgruntled star player chooses not to attend. Diggs has posted cryptic tweets this offseason after showing his frustration following the Bills' divisional-round loss to the Bengals in the playoffs last season. However, he just signed a four-year extension through 2027 with Buffalo last offseason. There's been no indication that the Bills plan to trade their star wideout.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Held in check Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs caught just four of 10 targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
Diggs was kept quiet as quarterback Josh Allen went without a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 9. Despite usually being Buffalo's most dangerous target, Diggs finished fourth on the team in receiving yards Sunday, even trailing rookie fifth-rounder Khalil Shakir. Although his season ends in disappointing fashion, Diggs turned in another monster campaign in 2022, posting at least 103 catches, 1,225 receiving yards and eight touchdowns for the third straight year since joining the Bills.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Big first half Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs caught seven of nine targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Dolphins in the wild-card round.
Diggs enjoyed a big first half, with all seven of his catches coming prior to halftime. That total included a 52-yard bomb to set up Buffalo's opening touchdown early on. Even though he garnered just one look during the second half, Diggs still led the Bills in receiving yards and should remain a big factor as they advance to the AFC divisional round.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Diggs (illness) returned to practice Friday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Diggs sat out Thursday's practice, but his ability to return the next day suggests his availability for Monday's game against the Bengals isn't in jeopardy. That notion won't be fully confirmed until the Bills release their final injury report Saturday, but Diggs was listed as a full participant Friday, so he's projected to play barring a setback.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Missing practice Thursday
Rotowire
Diggs won't practice Thursday due to an illness, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott told Getzenberg that he hopes to have the wideout back on the field later this week, but Diggs' status is now worth monitoring as Monday's game against the Bengals approaches. In his last outing in the Bills' Week 16 win over the Bears, Diggs caught both of his targets for a season-low 26 yards.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Underwhelming numbers in win
Rotowire
Diggs secured both targets for 26 yards in the Bills' 35-13 win over the Bears on Saturday.
Diggs endured a rough afternoon in the frigid conditions of Soldier Field, turning in his lowest reception and yardage totals of the season. Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different players overall, helping to keep Diggs' numbers modest. The next opportunity for Diggs to bounce back comes in a Week 17 road showdown against the Bengals on Monday night, Jan. 2.

Bills' Stefon Diggs: Disappoints on nine targets
Rotowire
Diggs recorded five receptions on nine targets for 60 yards in Saturday's 32-29 win over Miami.
Diggs led Buffalo with nine targets, though he managed only 6.7 yards per target. His biggest gain of the day came on a 20-yard catch early in the second quarter, but he was otherwise limited to short areas of the field. Diggs will remain the most consistent part of the Buffalo offense, which gives him a safe floor of production, but he has failed to reach 100 receiving yards in each of his last five games, and he's also reached 90 yards just once in that span.
